Public-to-Public Partnerships (P2P)

Public-to-Public Partnerships (P2Ps) are research and innovation networks of public organisations like ministries or funding agencies. P2Ps align national strategies and help to overcome fragmentation of public research effort. They include networks supported by the European Commission such as ERA-NETs and Art 185s as well as member state-led Joint Programming Initiatives.

Support for P2Ps

ERA-LEARN supports the community of Public-to-Public Partnerships (P2Ps) with a broad variety of good practice examples and tools. For more than 10 years, we have aquired know-how and experience within the P2P community to develop a set of manuals and recommended procedures for the implementation of calls and other joint endeavours.

P2P Facts & Figures

In conjunction with the European Commission, ERA-LEARN undertakes an annual data collection exercise. Our information update on the P2P landscape, includes statistics covering joint transnational calls, funded projects and other cooperation parameters. Our website provides a selection of the most relevant facts and figures. You can also download our annual reports which include all collected data.

Thematic Network Overview

P2P Networks cover a wide range of thematic areas. A significant number of partnership initiatives operate in neighbouring or even overlapping fields. ERA-LEARN supports the exploitation of experience and close cooperation. For example, each of the current JPI corresponds with several relevant ERA-NETs.

P2P Network Database

We provide detailed information on P2P networks including a description of stakeholders and interactive information on the geographical scope of the initiatives. Here you will find a network overview, infomation on participating countries and organisations as well as on the thematic clustering of partnership initiatives.
